Even worse when you know there is a fault and have done all the tests and just need to book a visit. The overseas call centre robot insists on sticking to the script and rechecking everything you have already tested. Eventually deciding that there isn't a fault simply because you don't want to waste time repeating what you have already done. It's always useful to have a contact to complain to when you hit that dead end!

Strange that the North Lincs local TV channel hasn't been promoted up the EPG to slot 159.

It's been high up the EPG for a long time and I'd imagine most people access it by typing in the number. If it was moved they probably wouldn't be able to find it.

The problem is they DON'T stick to the script. If they did, they would have given Richard the correct answer instead of offering a tech visit.

It's a real mixed bag on the channel. I've looked ahead at the first few days of prime time viewing and have picked these out at the highlights:

Hardcore Pawn: Chigaco
Conan
Container Wars (Pretty much storage wars but people bidding for shipping containers)

However the show I'm looking forward to is Redneck Island. Twelve rednecks are stranded on a tropical island with Stone Cold Steve Austin, but this is no holiday, they're here to compete for $100,000.

I can just see Chad settling down Friday night dirty string vest on with a 24 pack of Tennents , chippy tea with a marathon viewing session of Redneck Island in front of him.:D
